Freelance Book Editor

Awaken My Story

Jun 2022 - Present4 yrs 1 mo

Since 2022, I have worked as a freelance book editor with Awaken My Story, supporting indie authors in developing and refining their novels. I have helped over 100 independent writers strengthen their manuscripts through developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, editorial assessments and outline analysis. My work focuses on improving story structure, character development, pacing and prose clarity, helping authors transform early drafts into polished manuscripts ready for publication. One of the novels I edited went on to appear on the Kirkus Reviews Best Seller List, reflecting the high standard of work I bring to every manuscript I edit.

    Elena was a phenomenal editor. I didn't quite know what to expect given the medium of Fiverr, but she went far beyond my expectations with the quality of her work. She was friendly and collaborative from the get-go, and her eye for detail is unparalleled. I could not recommend anybody better than Elena for her acute skillset and insightful feedback.

    Elena provide a very insightful review of my draft. Lot's of great advice and it is clear she has done this many times - she has a strong sense of how to progress a story, flesh out the characters, etc. I will be acting on most of her recommendations. Thanks Elena!

    Elena gave me plenty to think about, and lots of great feedback about pacing, structure, and the characters themselves. Some of the feedback, I already knew and so it was great to have someone else confirm what I was thinking. At the same time, having completely unexpected feedback that I hadn't considered,...

    I'm very impressed and happy with the editing and feedback of my book. She provided the expected grammatical copy editing but also suggestions and input to make the book better. Highly recommend and look forward to working with her again.
